For Immediate Release:
April 7, 2011, DENVER, NORTH CAROLINA - Trevor Sanborn’s confidence has never been higher. The Limerick, Maine, standout will need every ounce as he tackles the world’s best super late model competitors at ‘The Race’ in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina this weekend.
The richest event in the history of the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) will run under the lights at the famed North Wilkesboro Speedway Saturday evening. Sanborn partnered with RACE 101 founder Tony Blanchard to take a mighty swing at the $75,000 top prize. He will pilot the RACE 101 presented by Howe Racing chassis with McGunegill horsepower under the hood. Blanchard will call the shots from the pit box, and Trevor’s brother Corey Sanborn will spot.
“We have a good car, and we have a good driver,” said Sanborn. “My confidence boost because of Tony is amazing. He is one smart man.
“The goal is to learn a lot this weekend, but I’m going there to win. I’m comfortable with Corey on the radio, and testing has gone well. Doing well in this race could definitely put my name out there.”

Sanborn races his family-owned and family-funded super late model at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway in Maine in the summer, and he’s seen moderate success in the PASS series. This weekend will be his first race with Tony Blanchard as crew chief. It will also mark the inaugural outing for the RACE 101 presented by Howe Racing chassis.
“We saw this as an opportunity to work with one of our students,” said Blanchard. “Trevor is a scholarship recipient in this year’s class, and he has a lot of experience.
“Testing has gone well so far. Trevor communicates what he needs, and the Howe chassis has been responsive to the changes we’ve made. We’re ready for this event.”
Accompanying Blanchard and the RACE 101 crew will be engine builder Dwayne McGunegill to lend his expertise to the effort.
“Horsepower won’t be a problem,” said Sanborn. “I’ve done well in long-distance races, and I’ve never felt so prepared.”
Sanborn has run five prior 300-lap races in his career. All were held at Beech Ridge, and Sanborn has three top-five finishes.
“Patience will be key,” said Sanborn. “The first step is getting solidly into the race, and then we’ll want to ride out the first half of the race and stay in contention. Anything can happen.”
While this weekend marks the first competition for the RACE 101 presented by Howe Racing house car there is already plenty of laps on the machine. Multiple drivers have tested the chassis, and this weekend will serve as a great shakedown for RACE 101 premier driver Trevor Edwards when he steps in to compete later in the season.
“Trevor Sanborn’s experience will offer great feedback on the car,” said Blanchard. “Trevor Edwards is a fine young man and a talented racer. He’s going to benefit from Sanborn’s input.”
